Highway Oneaaaahhhhhh!
Highway 1 in california is by far the funnest and most frightening drive I have ever done. The road twists and turns along the coast with a straight drop off on one side 800 feet down to the pacific. We survived and made it to San Fran where it is now a beautiful day.

The Great Outdoors
From Omaha to the Badlands. What a change. From boring to beautiful. The Badlands is where Peter Jackson should have filmed the Mordor bits in Lord of the Rings. We arrived at night so we had no idea what the scenery looked like. Sprouting out of the grasslands in South Dakota are these mini mountian-canyon things. We drove the Badlands lookout of the park and (almost) ran into some deer like things.
Next was the most beautiful drive I have ever done. We exited the great planes and entered the Bighorn Mountians. Out final destination for that day was Yellowstone National Park. We arrived around 1AM after driving through the snow. We got pulled over before we got to the campsite by two park rangers. They asked if we had any drugs on us (maybe they were looking to score) and after pestering me for several minutes I finally let him search my trunk. I told him all that was in there was a bunch of camping gear, but aparently I can't be trusted. After opening my trunk the other ranger called out "what's in there?" The response..."exactly what he said. A bunch of camping gear." His excuse for pulling me over? The lights shining on my lisence plate were out (now fixed).
Next stop was Grand Teton, a perfect mountian scene with beautiful blue sky and a clear mountian lake.

Chicago
And we finally get to Chicago. After days in national parks without Internet we finally return to civilization.
So, Chicago was amazing. The hostel was really nice and couldn't be in a better location (right downtown only a few blocks away from millennium park). We had dinner at amazing deep dish stuffed pizza place and then went to Blue Chicago, a small blues bar with awesome music. After a beautiful day with 80 degree weather we woke up to clouds and below freezing temperatures.
Chicago has some amazing architecture and if it wasn't for the cold I would think about moving there.
Oh yeah, did I mention we are in California right now?
